I believe we have 3 freshman, as good as any 3 we have ever had at the same time. Will a new coach be able to keep them? Maybe. I certainly wouldn't expect a hometown kid (Bankston) to leave. I can't see how Tucker and DeAndre can leave after redshirting this season. They are probably the 2 best players on the team. I think Oliver will be a very solid Sun Belt big man as a senior. We obviously have some holes to fill, even if everyone stays, but the main problem with this year's team was youth and inexperience.

Why not? I don't settle.

There were more problems than youth and inexperience.

Fling those rumors out there, folks. Doesn't hurt anything, since we don't know anything anyway. And it is fun to anticipate.

Stand by. If Virginia's AD is really, really stupid, Tony Bennett may be available shortly.

Lottle, Cocoran. and Bankston will be very good college players. Whether it's in Little Rock or somewhere else.

Yes, he does have some head coaching experience, but has not coached at all (or recruited) at the D1 level. If Wes was a de facto bad hire because of the process, how is Walker any different if he is the anointed selection, even if we did do a full search?

Chris Beard had not coached or recruited at The D1 level but he did pretty good at Little Rock and TTech.

WRONG...!!!! 13 years experience at the D1 level - did coaching and recruiting...

They’re solid for sure. If they stay I hope they respond to actual coaching and discipline. I suspect they will.
